Yes, it will take time. No one said, that it will happen instantaneously. The point is that fast unrestricted access to the internet is required to *really* learn and try linux/other open source technologies which was missing in India till now. The proliferation of high speed net connections might give a boost to piracy also, but its effect on open source adoption cannot be undermined. > > versions of Linux I thought). but after Red hat going commercial, i > have, Kinda stopped > using it.
